Mentors play important roles with their mentees’ career development, psychosocial as well as role modelling. They assist novice entrepreneurs to identify opportunity in business. Yet, there are a small number of researches focusing on mentoring impacts especially among university students. This is vital to increase students’ interests to be involved in entrepreneurship activities and becoming entrepreneurs. Besides, it has been the national agenda of many countries to embed entrepreneurship at the universities level due to graduate employability issue. This agenda not only focusing on job creation only but also equipping students with entrepreneurial mindset and skills. The objective of this study is to review the literature on types of mentoring supports for engaging university students in entrepreneurship activities.
